Document Summary

12:15 pm: define enzyme and discuss how an enzyme influences a biological reaction. It"s a protein catalysts of reactions which lowers the barrier of activation energy: discuss the lock and key theory of enzymatic specificity. Enzymes have an active site that is specific for a substrate: recall the characteristics of competitive inhibition. A molecule similar to the substrate that binds to the specific site competing for it. It can be diminished by increasing the substrate concentration: recall the characteristics of non-competitive inhibition. A molecule that binds to a different spot in the enzyme and doesn"t relate to the substrate; its irreversible by causing a conformation change in the enzyme: discuss allosteric regulation of enzymatic activity. They act like reversible non-competitive inhibitors that regulate metabolic pathways by existing in the active and inactive forms and having allosteric effectors: recall the role of positive and negative allosteric effectors on enzymatic activity.

Â· Explain how enzymes speed up reaction rate, i.e., how do enzymes lower the activation

energy. Note: Factors other than preferential stabilization of transition state also contribute to increased

reaction rate. They include 1) enzymes placing one substrate (reactant) next to the other substrate (reactant)

so that the reaction is no longer dependent on the collision rate of the two substrates; 2) enzymes sequester the

substrate(s), minimizing solvent competition thus speeding up the reaction; 3) in enzyme complexes with each

enzyme catalyzing one step in a multi-step reaction sequence, the product of one reaction is fed to the active site

of another enzyme for the next step without the product diffusing away from the enzyme complex thereby

increasing reaction rate.

concentration.

is constant, steady state assumption, etc)

enzyme and substrate at a given temperature and solution condition; whereas Vmax can differ

for a given enzyme and substrate at a given temperature and solution condition, depending

on the enzyme concentration.

calculations.

Â· describe the other names for the catalytic rate constant, kcat (i.e., the turn over number; also

and mixed inhibitions (noncompetitive inhibition is a special case in which the inhibitor

catalyzes reactions with multiple substrates or when the enzyme is allosteric, i.e. binding of

the substrate at one active site affects the other active site(s) for the same substrate).

base catalysis, metal ion catalysis, covalent catalysis)

Â· Contrast acid/base catalysis to general acid/base catalysis, i.e., comment on their similarity
